This is a guest post by Chloe from Bob The Builder Toys Blog.
If you have a pre school child the chances are you will have heard of Bob The Builder. But have you ever watched any of the cartoons with your child? They are probably not top of your viewing list but if you ever have got past the theme song and carried on watching rather than sidling off to get some ironing done, you will be pleased by the messages they send out.
This cute little builder guy enthrals children with his positive attitude and we can only hope that some of it rubs off on them. He is often coming across problems in his building work, just like any other real life situation, but does he throw up his hands in horror and give up? No, when the other Bob The Builder characters ask him, “Can we fix it?”, he always answers, “Yes, we can.” You never hear him say, “Oh, I don’t know” or “I’ll have to think about it”. It’s always, “Yes, we can.” How reliable is that?
Such attitudes are hard to come by these days and we could all learn a thing or two from this show, whether we are parents, business owners or just the kids who watch it so much. So what problems are you facing at the moment? Are your colleagues at work getting you down? Are you struggling to fit everything into your already busy schedule? And who isn’t facing money worries? Try immersing yourself in a Bob The Builder episode with your little one and let the positive vibes rub off on you. At the end, reconsider your problems and decide “Yes I can fix it”. Think about things from a different viewpoint and go ahead and find your solution. This may be that you need some help or some more information but at least you have progressed. Half the battle is deciding that you WILL fix it.
